[LIVE] Wireless Keyboard/Mouse problem - LastShadow - 2010-10-08

Reposting for proper forum etiquette.

XBMCFreak Dharma 10.00 Beta2 x32(I have tried other versions with same issue)
Zotac ION D
Live USB to HD install

Let me start by saying I am a huge Linux noob. My problem is that XBMC will not detect a wireless mouse and keyboard(separate transmitters) unless I am mashing the keys and moving the mouse as it boots. I am using the live distribution. This one is hard to explain but I have tried changing all of the BIOS settings for USB and the devices work great at the GRUB bootloader. Again, everything works normally if I am constantly giving input to the wireless devices as XBMC loads. I know there must be a script I can run to avoid this annoying hiccup. Any help would be awesome.

It is almost as if the XBMC equivalent to Windows' plug and play is not on. The transmitter is not activating unless I am giving it input to let XBMC know that it is there.
